Faith Leaders Hold Vigil Asking Congress To Restore Temporary Protective Status (TPS)

Faith leaders, advocates, and allies hold a vigil outside 26 Federal Plaza in lower Manhattan, United States, on July 2, 2026. The vigil takes place at a site known for numerous arrests and detentions by US Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE), with participants calling for the full reinstatement of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian and Syrian nationals living in the United States. On June 25, 2026, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in a 6-3 decision in Mullin v. Doe to allow the Trump Administration to remove protections for citizens of Haiti and Syria.
